Liberalize supply management

The other end of this axis: Defend supply management

Excerpts repeat support for farmers marketing their own grain and removing barriers.

I appreciate this opportunity to rise and support this piece of legislation, because I believe it is going to provide western Canadian wheat and barley farmers with the freedom that they have long desired: the ability to market their own grain and to make their own business decisions. Our government's top priority is the economy, and in my part of the world and in every part of Canada, agriculture is a significant portion of our economy.

Slower phase-down, production first

The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down

Opposes carbon tax and supports production-first realistic plan.

Higher spending and more capability

The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments

Excerpts endorse Libya mission and veterans funding.

We Canadians did go to Libya, first and foremost, to protect the civilian population that had seen its own government attack the most vulnerable in the country. We are there in collaboration with our NATO partners and under the auspices of the United Nations Security Council resolutions 1970 and 1973.

Expand production and export

The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas

Repeats defense of Alberta energy workers and oil and gas production.

Every Canadian benefits from the efforts of Albertans who work in the resource sector. Health care, education, retirement savings, infrastructure investments and millions of jobs throughout Canada are dependent on the work of Albertans in the oil and gas sector. Hard-working Albertans deserve the praise of national leaders rather than the nasty and uninformed vitriol coming from the Leader of the Opposition.

Provinces lead

The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

Criticizes federal intrusion into provincial oil sands matters.

This week, on Mike Duffy Live, Alberta Liberal leader, Kevin Taft, criticized the position of the member for Ajax—Pickering by warning him directly that the federal Liberal intrusion into the oil sands could eventually threaten the unity of our country. In a recent interview, the member for Ajax—Pickering stated, “if they refuse to work with us.

Lower taxes and tighter spending

The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending

More flexibility for employers

The other end of this axis: Stronger unions and standards

Excerpts support temporary foreign worker program for labour shortages.

They are actually utilizing the temporary foreign worker program significantly to try to fill some of those labour shortages. In my office we actually deal a fair bit with immigration.

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Repeats support for reverse onus, mandatory minimums and enforcement measures.

We have introduced legislation that would ensure that dangerous offenders will be kept behind bars until they can prove that they have reformed. We are implementing mandatory minimum sentences for violent and sexual-based crimes. We are raising the age of consent from 14 to 16.
